A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for zeben. Starters: Figueira - Fulleda, Montero, Jiménez, Ardelean - Abad, Plana, Ghioaldă, Donado Mazarrón - Pretel, Santaya.

4 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Madrid was O. Dubuisson. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Madrid's M. Gagliardi increasing the lead to 2 - 0. With 13 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, S. Ghioaldă needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. P. Martínez tried using a burst of speed to get past his defender after 17 minutes, but it takes more than that to get past fast L. Ardelean. Madrid solidified their lead at the 23 minute mark, as S. Lino dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Madrid lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. J. Estensoro was called on to replace zeben's S. Ghioaldă after 24 minutes following a nasty collision. Madrid's C. Dărăban increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 29 minutes. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Gagliardi squirmed through their central defence after 30 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 0. Madrid's M. Gagliardi left the field after 34 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was D. Txasko. It was 5 - 0 at the break. Madrid had most of the ball, with 72 percent of possession.

Cheers filled the stadium as S. Lino broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 6 - 0 to Madrid. 48 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as O. Dubuisson broke through, making the score 7 - 0 for Madrid. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Madrid scored another to make it 8 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for D. Txasko after 57 minutes. After 67 minutes Madrid's P. Zych contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Madrid managed to extend their lead to 9 - 0 when S. Lino cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. At that, S. Lino was noted down for a hat trick! Cheers filled the stadium as O. Bodale broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 10 - 0 to Madrid. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Madrid, with 77 percent of the ball.

O. Dubuisson performed admirably for Madrid. C. Dărăban turned in a dismal performance, however. zeben's top performer was clearly J. Abad. F. Plana on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 10 - 0.
